Hmmm... I thought it should've picked up the local lease, although I see
it's the network manager that's disabling it.
As an alternative approach, you could add a new hook script
into /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d - call it dhcptimeout for example
-- 8< snip --
#!/bin/bash
case "$reason" in
TIMEOUT|FAIL)
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 203.97.9.110 netmask 255.255.255.248 up
echo "search your.domain
nameserver 203.97.33.14
nameserver 203.97.37.14" > /etc/resolv.conf
/sbin/route add default gw 203.97.9.105
;;
esac
-- 8< snip --
(this script is completely untested btw! and change for the correct
domain name ). It'll be interesting to see what the network manager
thinks of that.
You may well be able to make this script a lot more generic, there's a
lot of variables set up. Try enabling the debug exit script if it's
there. If not, use the following:
-- 8< snip --
for i in reason interface medium alias_ip_address new_ip_address \
new_subnet_mask new_domain_name \
new_domain_name_servers new_routers new_static_routes \
old_ip_address old_subnet_mask old_domain_name \
old_domain_name_servers old_routers \
old_static_routesq
do
echo $i=\'${!i}\'
done > /tmp/dhclient.debug
-- 8< snip --
You may need to set $reason to "BOUND" on exit to shut the network
manager up...
Cheers,
Steve
